A modification to Kato's method for direct faecal smear examination, which preserves the ova and makes them easy to see, is described. A clearing and preserving solution consisting of polyethylene glycol, formalin and saturated saline is used instead of the glycerine and malachite green solution. With this method, hookworm eggs do not collapse.
